Batman, Luther, Flash
Nevada, the most secure secret room.
In a dark, secret room.
The dim oil lamp cast flickering shadows of the two figures. The stifling air stifled every pore of their skin, leaving it feeling uncomfortably hot and stuffy.
Luther raised the corners of his mouth, a mysterious smile on his face, as he looked at the tablet in his left hand.
The screen displayed Ba Di's announcement, accompanied by Ba Di booming voice.
"What a grand ambition! To lead humanity into the era of genetic superpowers! In just a few days, all the turmoil and unrest have been stuffed into the game, allowing players to hone their combat skills, play games, and gain superpowers! To protect the Earth and divert attention from external conflicts."
The imperial power of Ba Miu Luo Di is now secure.
On Luther's right hand, a rhombus-shaped Kryptonite, emitting a faint green glow, slid and danced between his fingers.
He flipped the tablet in his left hand and placed it on the old gray wooden table, stirring up fine dust that danced in the dim light of the oil lamp.
Luther turned his gaze to the Kryptonite in his right hand, its sharp, diamond-shaped ends piercing the pads of his index finger and thumb.
He held the Kryptonite up towards the dim light, which, behind Kryptonite, accentuated the Kryptonite's faint green glow, making it appear crystal clear, exquisite, and exceptionally beautiful.
"Batman, if your plan is just to infiltrate the Emperor Tower, create Kryptonite, and find some strange places, without giving me even a glimpse of a chance to kill Ba Miu Luo Di, then I'm sorry, I won't play this pointless game with you any longer."
"Oh, and you also lured the Kryptonian Spaceship here, intending for them to both suffer heavy losses. But you seem to have underestimated the situation; even if they both suffer heavy losses, Earth will be reduced to ruins."
"Moreover, Ba Miu Luo Di boasted that he could single-handedly fight against Kryptonian Spaceship."
Luther put the Kryptonite into his suit pocket, then turned his gaze to Batman beside him, his eyes cold and sharp.
At this moment, Batman is the real Batman, transmitting the consciousness from Mike back into his own body through consciousness transfer.
Dressed in a dark bat costume, he looked like a bat emerging from the darkness in the dim light, as if it were walking into the shadows at sunset. He said in a deep voice, "You betrayed our alliance, Luther. You sent them to their deaths."
A low, husky tone, brimming with a deep-seated anger, permeated the basement.
What Batman was referring to was the massacre of over three hundred superhumans from the original National Alliance on Earth, all of whom were wiped out at the Emperor Tower.
Luther's eyes were cold, and his bald head, illuminated by the dim light, accentuated his indifferent expression.
"I don't remember joining any alliance."
In fact, at that time, there was nothing Luther could do.
He knew that these might be the last remaining life force on Earth, but he couldn't act.
He received not a single word from the Emperor Tower, especially since the entire Alliance had not informed him at all. At that moment, he was completely abandoned when the Emperor Tower was invaded.
Even at the very end, when the Death Knell knell, whom Ba Miu Luo Di had warned him against seeing, appeared before him, he had a moment of doubt as to whether Ba Miu Luo Di had discovered him.
Otherwise, the timing of Death Knell's appearance was too coincidental, making him somewhat apprehensive.
Batman, his face grim, stared at Luther in the dim light, neither giving an inch, their gazes cold and deep, both filled with immense wariness, vigilance, and a desire to exploit each other.
In fact, Batman never expected that Death Knell, who had been the most active in fighting Ba Miu Luo Di, would also be one of Ba Miu Luo Di's men, ultimately leading to Death Knell's destruction along with all of Earth's living forces at the Emperor Tower.
On that very day, during the interval between Batman and Ba Di's return from Paradise Island, Batman could only use Mike's body to mitigate the damage and salvage some losses. He risked his life to use the Imperial Emperor Tower's advanced technology to create some Kryptonite and bring back some necessary equipment during the time between the Emperor Tower's conquest of Earth and Ba Miu Luo Di's absence.
However, these manufactured fake Kryptonite are not real Kryptonite and even have a limited shelf life. They are fine against ordinary Krypton genetic soldiers, but they are unlikely to be effective against Ba Miu Luo Di.
"What are you looking for, Batman!"
Luther said coldly, his eyes fixed on Batman.
During the time he was observing Batman using Mike's body, Batman researched a lot of information, much of which was marked as particularly important by Ba Miu Luo Di.
Clearly, Batman, like Ba Miu Luo Di, knows something, and is searching for it as if he has a precognitive ability.
"The power to deal with Ba Miu Luo Di."
Batman said in a deep voice.
He searched for Shazam's location, attempting to obtain Shazam's power; he also searched for Black Adam, wanting to release him to fight against Ba Miu Luo Di. He also searched for the traces of the Olympian Gods, the whereabouts of Poseidon in the sea, and the whereabouts of the Underworld; he even searched for the Mother Box originally on Earth, wanting to replicate Cyborg's miracle and use the Mother Box to fight against Ba Miu Luo Di's Artificial Intelligence; he even sent a special frequency to Doctor Fate.
But all of this was in vain; this world is not normal. None of the above occurred. What happened that caused so many powerful beings to disappear?
Batman is certain that this world is extremely abnormal.
It wasn't that Barry's escape from the Flashpoint caused the abnormality, but rather that this world felt fragmented, making it difficult for all powerful beings to enter.
This world makes it hard for him to feel real, yet he is gradually starting to feel real—a very contradictory feeling.
Luther squinted, staring intently at Batman. In the dim light of the oil lamp, Batman's dark attire resembled a somber oil painting—three-dimensional, real yet dark and illusory, concealing unspeakable thoughts.
"You have one more chance."
Luther stared at Batman and said.
Batman was slightly disappointed; he couldn't kill Ba Miu Luo Di like that.
Ba Miu Luo Di is smarter than them all. What's the point of having these superpowered individuals steal Kryptonite under his wing?
In fact, some of Batman's actions are based on memories from the future, and it's difficult to see what use or effect Luther would have in the present.
From the current perspective, Batman is far from meeting his expectations; he has not caused any trouble or killed Ba Miu Luo Di, let alone killed Ba Di.
After Luther finished speaking, he turned and left the basement.
Batman's eyes were fixed on his back. In the dim light, the bald head and white suit disappeared into the darkness.
a long time.
From the dark corner of the basement, a blurry red figure emerged, accompanied by yellow arcs of electricity. The Flash sprang from the wall and walked toward Batman.
"Bruce, the Cosmic Treadmill is complete."
"However, I have no way to run through time. Ba Miu Luo Di is like a needle stuck in this world, and I cannot run back to the Speed Force Wall."
The Flash, his face bitter, said somberly, "I'm sorry, it was all..."
If it weren't for my reckless rush back to save my mother, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Barry felt a deep bitterness in his heart. He had caused the Justice League's downfall, Hal's disappearance in space, Diana's capture, Paradise Island becoming Ba Miu Luo Di's weapon, Cyborg being offered to Ba Miu Luo Di by Amazon and already executed, Aquaman being nailed to the beach.
Clark, humanity's hope, never grew up; he was brutally murdered by Ba Miu Luo Di as an infant.
Shazam is gone, Doctor Fate is no more, and the Olympus gods are nowhere to be seen.
Ba Miu Luo Di rules the world!
The seemingly peaceful and harmonious world was merely the starting point for Ba Miu Luo Di's conquest of the universe.
He hijacked the entire Earth, forcing humanity to fight for him.
"It's not your fault, Barry."
Batman's voice was deep, resolute, and firm.
"Even if they run back, it won't cause many of the world's previous figures and heroes to disappear."
"Their disappearance is very strange, Barry. You might just be a coincidence."
"I'll create opportunities for you to run away."
"Barry, run, all you need to do is run."
